Should she eat this? She joined the slimming group to lose weight, and she was pretty sure this wasn’t friendly to her stomach. Dieting caused her to be a few pounds lighter. Did it bring her happiness? She dreamt about eating something other than fat-free yoghurt for months.

Tomorrow was weighing day, however she had been good all week, and she deserved her favourite to celebrate being fabulous.
